[S&S88 2]

hi i just need little advise how to write to the congressman.should i wait little more or should i get help from my senator.My husband and i been waiting for 4month but still no news when we going to get the visa.end of this month it going to be 5month should i wait till it going to be 5 month or should i just go ahead and get help from them? Because when my husband went for the interview they told him everything is fine and they don't need anything else. they also told him it should take 2-3month but we still didn't hear anything from them so it going to be 5month in Ap. i need help what should i do? do we have to go in there office or can i just call them tell them everything?

the noamal time is 5 months, the congrassman office will tell you cantact us after 6 months.if you call the 1=800 number they will say call back in 30 days, you can try making infopass appointment,it's better to wait after 6 months to start to worry.

Congress people really can't do anything except ask the same questions as you. The only difference is that it will be answered right away. If you are due to come out of AP anyway, the congressman will gladly take credit for it, even though he made no difference.

your file will be flagged that a congressional inquiry has been made. The fbi goals are to compete name checks in 120 days. I would walk into senator ofdice and ask for help.

We contacted our congressman after we hit 5 months... we are still in AP... unfortunately out of all embassies AP in ISlamabad is truly the longest on a consistent basis. I would go ahead and contact a congressman or senator but whoever is your representative please do research to be sure they will be true to your case. Some of them simply do not care... I called one who didnt want to know anything just wanted me to sign on the dotted line didnt care about what we went thru. So needless to say i researched another one and found one that was pro immigration the right way, wanting to stop the illegal immigration and fraud and simply wants to reunite families.

I called my representative and spoke with him, he wanted to know our story, wanted to know more about our case, wanted to know what was said during the interview adn after and what the 221g required and while he didnt tell me sugar coated things he clearly told me how AP works and how background checks work and that those individuals from pakistan do undergo more checking and scrutiny on a consistent basis than those beneficiaries at other embassies and that it would be best to make inquiries about every 6-8 weeks so that our case isn't put aside each time to answer his email...

They have been contacted twice by him and will be in another week or so.. so far he has gotten a little more information for us.. we have been told our case is fine and that we are in normal processing.. even tho that's all they said it was a lot more info than DOS has told us..

You will be asked to sign a form and either fax, mail or scan back to them for authorization to contact the embassy on your behalf...

Good luck and remb find one of your reps that will do the best job for you!
